BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Tamas Vasary was born August 11, 1933, Debrecen, Hungary. Vasary made his debut at the age of 8, performing Mozart's piano concerto in D major, K.107 in the city of his birth, where he gave a solo recital the following year. He then began to concertize regularly as a child prodigy. It was at this time that he was introduced to Erno Dohnanyi, the leading figure of musical life in Hungary, who made a unique exception by offering to accept the gifted youth as a pupil in spite of his age. Vasary studied only a short time under his tutelage, however, as Dohnanyi soon left Hungary.

He also studied with Jazef Gat at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, and was later assistant there to Zoltan Kodály, who made him a gift of a Steinway piano.

At the age of 14 Vasary won first prize in the Franz Liszt competition at the Academy of Music in Budapest, in 1948. He left Hungary in 1956 and settled in Switzerland. He made his débuts in the major cities of the West in 1960 and 1961. He has subsequently resided in London, England. He has made many recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, particularly of the Romantic repertoire, especially Frederic Chopin.

As a conductor, Vasary served as joint artistic director of the Northern Sinfonia from 1979 to 1982, sharing the post with Iván Fischer. With the Northern Sinfonia, Vasary recorded the Chopin piano concertos, directing from the keyboard. Vasary was later Principal Conductor of the Bournemouth Sinfonietta, from 1989 to 1997. He has guest conducted many of the principal British orchestras as well as appearing regularly in the United States and elsewhere as pianist and conductor.

Vasary has recorded under six different labels: Supraphon, Deutsche Grammophon, Chandos Records, Academy Sound and Vision, Collins Classic and Hungaroton. He has recorded over 20 albums of the music of Liszt, Chopin, Brahms, Debussy, Rachmaninoff and Mozart with Deutsche Grammophon. In 1991 his recording of works by Liszt released by the Academy of Sound and Vision won the Grand Prize in Hungary, and his recording of Dohnanyi's violin concerto released by Hungaroton won the Midem Prize. As a conductor, he has also recorded the complete Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms symphonies with Hungaroton.
